WE ARE THE CAREER ACCELERATION SERVICE

Individuals developing their careers working towards promotion and new opportunities.

Firms by training teams in new areas thus contributing to corporate agility

Recruiters by developing a talent pool

Everyone in financial services markets who is motivated to widen their knowledge, develop their career, improve their connections, and seek inspiration.

We offer classroom and online courses and tutors covering a wide variety of topics specifically designed to enhance the value of our clients in the market place. It’s why we are called the Career Acceleration Service. We are there to get you to the next level.

We identify the training needs of our clients and help them grow their competencies and enrich their CV’s in order to improve their employment credentials and job candidacy.

Clients can also apply for membership of the Career Advisory Service. We allocate to each client a personal trainer for twelve months:

Our trainers have all spent many years working in demanding roles in financial services. All of them are involved in the markets so their knowledge is current and they have a role in determining the future.

All our trainers are elected members of the Business Risk Round Table which they joined because they have the desire to share their knowledge to promote improved standards in our industry.

Goals

Our goal is to help you to:

Improve your professional competencies and standards

Align your current efforts with best practise standards

Transform your professional career

We identify the training needs of our clients and help them grow their competencies and enrich their CV’s in order to improve their employment credentials and job candidacy.

Values

CAS demands the highest professional ethical standards in our partners and trainers. We expect these standards to permeate to our clients.

The health of the world economy is linked to trade.

We are dedicated to providing a clear understanding of how different financial trades and transactions work and how to measure the risk and reward.

Typically our tutors, as well as providing education, are active in the markets and most are also providing strategic consultancy.

We have a range of courses to help our clients get a profound understanding of front office activities. At one end of the range is a general explanation of how financial markets really work, while at the other, there are very specific technical courses. (eg. exotic options and how best to trade them). These courses are complemented by our career acceleration packages which give you access to traders for one-on-one discussions about best practice in the topics of your choice.

All economic activity carries risk.

We are dedicated to delivering knowledge about understanding risk, categorising it, placing a value on it and mitigating it.
